or, if you don't want to spend time waiting to see the lowest price, and then getting denied the purchase because "the price has changed or someone else bought the item", you can click on the buy button at any price you're willing to pay.

After watching what things have been closing for around here, I thought the aim of these auctions was to pay as much over retail as possible. This is what makes FF so awesome. By clicking "buy" right after it resets, you can overpay for your smokes all day long, without having to wait for some auction to close.

Free Fall Auction

The Free Fall Auction is the newest feature on CigarBid.com. Here’s how it works:

Unlike other auctions where the price is driven up by bids, the Free Fall Price is driven down by us and you decide what you are willing to pay. Free Fall Auctions allow you to purchase an item at a discounted price, eliminating the bidding process.

Free Fall Auctions begin at a set starting price. Upon lot opening, the price will start to rapidly fall right in front of you eyes. By clicking the “Buy Now” button you are agreeing to purchase the item at the price stated at the time of your click.

Once a bidder makes a purchase, or we decide the price has fallen too low the price will reset to the starting price.

If by chance, someone else bought the item seconds before your click you will be notified that the Free Fall Price is resetting.

All purchases are limited to a quantity of one. If you would like to purchase more than one, simply hang around and wait for the price to fall again. Don't wait too long, quantity available is not disclosed so you never know when the last unit is up for grabs.

Free Fall Auctions close at the listed close time or when all items have been sold. Whichever comes first.

Items purchased with Free Fall are processed into orders according to the time the purchase was made, not according to lot close time as QuickBuys do. This means that for daily shippers, the order for won Free Falls will be created that day, and for weekly shippers, the order will be created the next Thursday after the item was won.

Definitely check CI(www.cigarsinternational.com is the parent site for cigar bid.com -- do not post links for other sites) for the price you can get there, if you can get it under that price then you are doing good. Some smokes like the JDN dark corojos are great deals on FF, you can normally tell if it is a good deal by the number of winners listed.
